Arsenal’s visit to Sutton FC for the FA cup fifth round tie
had been billed as another opportunity to showcase the magic of the world
oldest cup competition with an upset on the cards as the gunners were expected
to still be wobbling under post Bayern Munich stress syndrome. In the end,
Arsenal’s comfortable 2-0 win was reminiscent of those evenings at the rugby
ground of my public high school facing the more illustrious across private
school from across the road that always beat us: Enough to be proud of the lads
on the pitch, sickening for dreams deferred, not exactly an embarrassment but
good outing nonetheless.
